Sport after joint replacement

Can you exercise after total knee replacement?

Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen

Doctor’s answer

Most patients can walk, cycle, swim, hike lightly, and perform low-impact strength training. High-impact jumping, intense contact, and frequent twisting may increase wear or loosening risk, so the exercise plan should reflect implant status and medical advice.
